    Syl doesn’t know about the ink at all so he’s completely unaware of the hidden messages. He also wouldn’t be able to check it since it requires Ferdinand’s mana to make the text visible. But he does know they exchange communications secretly.

      He knows that Rozemyne has some way to secretly communicate with Ferdinand, but has no idea how and thus can’t check it. And I strongly suspect that he’s more inspecting her letter to avoid Rozemyne accidentally giving anything away to the Ahrensbach nobles, who are sure to read the letter before passing it on to Ferdinand, rather than worry over what she might tell Ferdinand.

      That makes sense (guess he’s just doing a surface level check). I wonder how he is secretly conversing with Ferdi (since he doesn’t appear to have a invisible ink equivalent).

        Perhaps just codephrases that nobody else knows. Ferdinand keeps asking Syl to send over some of his luggage, perhaps the order in which he asks for certain items have pre-agreed meanings?

        In neither of Sylvester’s and Justus’ side stories have they mentioned communications or secret communication methods so it’s anyone’s guess. But I really don’t think Syl has any special communique going on because he’s completely unaware of the happenings in Ahrensbach.
